Asking posties to give a description of packet to make it easier for posties to find, ie large white jiffy bag, had a postie used to do this, his packets were so easy to find :Very Happy

After spending time in the Room of Doom I understand that a few extra seconds at the door for each FL can save literally hours at the counter. :Very Happy :Very Happy :Very Happy

I have always done it myself, makes it a lot easier for the guy in the callers office and means the customers can get away quicker from him as he is a bit of an ogre :Very Happy

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I do it as well I write A4 DNB(do not bend), Amazon, Play.com, tube, contact lenses specsavers, large smelly packet from africa fulla rotten meat etc etc to name a few lol on things to help peeps in callers find the packet faster. I used to work in a callers office and saw a few posties do this, now I'm on deliveries again I do for the guys in the callers. I cannot overstate how helpful it is.

Take them through to the manager's office and start stacking them up next to the tea and biscuits.
That usually works. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
